Finished chapter 1 of the new novel and it's rough (because first draft) but certainly crams in the WTF?!?-ery, as required.
Also, prior to November 2022 it was literally not possible to pitch a book in the British market with a plot geared around the assassination of Queen Elizabeth II ... let alone a comedy take on it!
(Pinky chirps up: "if someone would assassinate the Queen it would put us out of Bob's sartorial misery!" See, I knew someone would see my side of things.)
